INTRODUCTION 1.1 The East Midlands Aggregates Working Party (EMAWP) was established in 1974. It is not a policy-making body, but is charged with data collection to facilitate planning by Mineral Planning Authorities (MPAs), national government agencies and the industry, and to inform the general reader. 1.2 In recent years it also informed the work of regional bodies on minerals, including Regional Assembly and its replacement East Midlands Leaders’ Board as well as the East Midlands Development Agency. These bodies were in the process of abolition in 2011 and as part of this a number of private-sector led Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPS) are being established. There are seven LEPs that have key operations within the area and their relationship with the EMAWP will develop as they become fully operational 1.3 The membership of EMAWP comprises officers of each of the MPAs, representatives of three industry trade associations the Mineral Products Association (MPA), the British Aggregates Association (BAA) and the Federation of Demolition Contractors, and officers of the Department of Communities and Local Government (CLG). 1.4 EMAWP's brief covers the East Midlands Planning Cluster, i.e. the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire and Rutland and the cities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham. It also includes the whole of the Peak District National Park (which incorporates areas within Sheffield, Barnsley, Kirklees, Oldham, Cheshire East and Staffordshire – historically these areas have previously been assigned to other regions). Each of these is an MPA. 1.5 Within the boundaries of the three city unitary authorities of Derby, Leicester and Nottingham, there are no active aggregate operations. It has therefore been agreed that each should appoint a ‘corresponding member’ who is kept informed of developments and who may wish to attend meetings when items of relevance to their authorities are discussed. 1.6 This report of survey relates to the findings of the 2011 survey. 1.7 Between March 2011 and March 2013 there was no DCLG contract to provide Technical Secretarial services to the EMAWP. During this time Leicestershire County Council voluntarily managed the EMAWP, undertook the collection and collation of sales and other data for 2010 and 2011and prepared a report for 2010. Sincere thanks for the provision of this invaluable service are extended to Leicestershire County Council and the Officers involved in the work. Their commitment means that a full historic series of sales and other data remains available which is particularly important in view of the changing economic conditions during the period. 1.8 Although sales data was collected for 2011 it was collated only at MPA level. Following new contracts being let in March 2013 a decision was taken to prepare a brief report of the 2011 survey, comprising mainly primary aggregate sales, reserve and landbank statistics together with a summary of planning applications and decisions made during the year. The reason for this approach was to ensure a rapid collation and publication of this key data. A very brief commentary has been prepared to accompany the tabulated results. 1.9 The annual report for 2012 will include narrative for 2012 on matters such as development plans, production and market influences and recycled and secondary aggregate production and use.

NATIONAL AND REGIONAL AGGREGATES PLANNING 2.1 Minerals Planning Statement1 (MPS 1) published in November 2006 set out the current national and regional framework for minerals planning and the provision of aggregates in 2011. This was supplemented by revised National and Regional Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England 2001-2016 published on 10th June 2003. The levels of provision set out in the Guidelines are summarised in Table 1a. On 29 June 2009 a further revision to the Guidelines was published by DCLG for the period 2005-2020. The levels of provision set out in the latest Guidelines are summarised in Table 1b. Sub-Regional Provision 2.2 Each of the English Aggregates Working Parties was asked to produce regional guidelines indicating how the demand identified in the 2003 Guidelines could be met from sources within each region. The exercise was repeated for the 2009 Guidelines. 2.3 The sub-regional apportionment of the 2003 guidelines, prepared by EMAWP, was agreed by EMRA on 19th February 2004. The details of these sub-regional apportionments are set out in Table 2a. The sub-regional apportionment of the 2009 Guidelines, prepared by EMAWP and set out in Table 2b, was recommended to EMRA in December 2009 and endorsed by EMRA in January 2010 for inclusion into draft replacement Regional Plan Policies. However, owing to significant changes to regional government, including the abolition of EMRA, the closure of the Regional Government Office and the Secretary of State’s announcement of the intention to abolish Regional Spatial Strategies (RSS) it was never incorporated into a published document as part of the Development Plan. Nevertheless, the apportionments carry weight as material considerations and, in the interim, will be taken into account when calculating landbanks by EMAWP and the MPAs TABLE 1a: National and Regional Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England, 2001 –2016 (Mt) Guidelines for land-won Assumptions production in Region New Regions Land–won Land-won Marine Alternative Net Mt.

  • Mercian 2013 B.Indd
    Former workings in Jurassic ironstone near Grantham Geoffrey Warrington Abstract: The Lower Jurassic Marlstone Rock Formation was formerly worked for ironstone near Denton (SE Lincolnshire), and the Middle Jurassic Northampton Sand Formation near Hungerton and Colsterworth (SE Lincolnshire) and Saltby (NE Leicestershire), southwest and south of Grantham. Two ammonites from the Northampton Sand Formation at Hungerton are illustrated. Four ironstone quarries near Grantham (Fig. 1) were below the Whitby Mudstone Formation (formerly Upper visited during an excursion from the British Association Lias). The ironstone, a slightly calcareous sideritic ore, meeting in Nottingham in 1966. One, at Denton Park in was greenish-black when unweathered, and whitish or SE Lincolnshire, was worked for the Marlstone Rock grey-brown when weathered. Cross-bedding indicated Formation (Upper Pliensbachian – Toarcian; formerly an easterly transport direction, similar to that recorded the Marlstone Rock Bed). The others, at Colsterworth and Hungerton in SE Lincolnshire and Saltby in NE Leicestershire, were worked for the Northampton Sand Formation (Aalenian; formerly the Northampton Sand Ironstone Formation). The lithostratigraphic nomenclature follows Cox et al. (1999) and Carney et al. (2004), with equivalents used in older literature given in parenthesis at the first mention. The Denton and Hungerton sites are now infilled, but exposures remained at Colsterworth and Saltby in 2008. Photographs taken in 1966 record a once- important extractive industry in its last years. (All grid references cited below are [SK]). Denton Park Pit, in Marlstone Rock The history of working at Denton Park [857317], the most easterly of the quarries in this formation in the Woolsthorpe area, was documented by Tonks (1992).

  • Walk 9 - a Walk to the Past
    Woodhall Spa Walks No 9 Walk 9 - A walk to the past Start from Royal Square - Grid Reference: TF 193631 Approx 1 hour This route takes the walker to the ruins of Kirkstead Abbey, (dissolved by Henry VIII over 300 years before Woodhall Spa came into being) and the little 13th Century Church of St Leonards. From Royal Square, take the Witham Road, towards the river, passing shops and houses until fields open out to your left. Soon after, look for the entrance to Abbey Lane (to the left). Follow this narrow lane. You will eventually cross the Beck (see also walks 6 and 7) as it approaches the river; the monks from the Abbey once re-routed it to obtain drinking water. Ahead, on the right, is Kirkstead Old Hall, which dates from the 17th Century. Following the land, you cannot miss the Abbey ruin ahead. All that remains now is part of the Abbey Church, but under the humps and bumps of the field are other remains that have yet to be properly excavated, though a brief exploration before the laqst war revealed some of the magnificence of the Cistercian Abbey. Beyond is the superb little Church of St Leonards ( the patron saint of prisoners), believed to have been built as a Chantry Chapel and used by travellers and local inhabitants. The Cistercians were great agriculturalists and wool from the Abbey lands commanded a high price for its quality. A whole community of craftsmen and labourers would have grown up around the Abbey as iut gained lands and power.

PROPOSED SITE OPERATIONS 1.1. Planning consent for the landfill site at Storefield Lodge, Rushton was originally granted in 1989. In 2008 Mick George Ltd (MGL) acquired an interest in the site and in November 2008 was granted consent to establish a building to undertake waste recycling operations undercover on the site (Consent No 08/00069/WAS). 1.2. Subsequent planning consents have been granted on the site the last being for a northern extension to the landfill facility being granted in November 2011 (Consent No 11/00046/WAS). 1.3. It is now proposed to extend the existing Waste Reception Building close to the site access in a northern direction, to the same height and design (including colour and cladding) as the existing building (c. 10m high to the eaves and c. 12m high to the ridgeline), in order to expand the current waste pre-treatment and sorting operations to meet demand and aid efficiency of operations. A second weighbridge will also be established for greater efficiency of site operations and a new wheel bath facility included.

  • The Welland Valley Partnership River Improvement Plan
    The Welland Valley Partnership Enhancing the River Welland Our invitation to support a new vision for the local environment January 2013 Foreword The Welland Valley Partnership - Working Together for a Better River The River Welland arises above Market Harborough and flows through the gently rolling countryside of Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Rutland until it reaches Stamford where it is one of the features that makes the town so attractive. Below Stamford the River continues on its way to Market Deeping and Spalding, where its character changes and the water slows down to become one of the four fenland rivers which drain the Fens and finally enter the Wash. People have relied on the Rivers for thousands of years for water, food, transport and energy; as a result the River Welland and its valley have changed enormously. Even the course of the River Welland has moved; it used to flow through the Trinity Bridge in Crowland, but now runs almost a mile away and the bridge is a dry monument in the centre of the town. Figure 1: Trinity Bridge at Crowland. This triangular bridge once provided a crossing place over two channels of the River Welland. (©Dave Hitchborne and licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Licence) 1: Trinity Bridge at While many of these changes have been beneficial, such as the creation of water meadows which were an important feature of the English countryside, others have had unintended side effects. For example, land drainage and the extensive dredging of the River upstream of Stamford have left us with an over-widened and over-deepened channel with little of its historic character.

The site is currently occupied by the former Montagu School, now known as the Buccleuch Academy. Many of the current buildings will be demolished and a new academy built to the east of the current school site.The Roman town of Kettering lies just to the west of the site. Much of the town has been destroyed by quarrying and modern housing developments and little is known about the form of the town. Ironworking appears to have been a principal part of the economy and there are numerous quarry pits and ironworking sites, some of which lie adjacent to the current development area. The south-western corner of the site has been identified as having potentially national archaeological importance. The town is not thought to extend much further westwards into the remainder of the site.The Cytringan Saxon Charter Boundary lies to the south of the site and may extend into it; the boundary may have been formed by a double ditch and central bank.
